Thumper

Onboard the Thumper

Thumper is a 40-metre Sunseeker built for the kind of charter that runs over several days rather than a single afternoon. Five cabins accommodate up to twelve guests, giving each couple or family group a private cabin rather than a shared berth — a layout better suited to a full week aboard than a short bay outing. As part of the superyacht category, she sits toward the upper end of the Barcelona fleet, with the deck and interior space that groups of this size need without feeling packed in.

From Port Olímpic, Thumper's size and cabin count make her a natural fit for a Balearics passage — Mallorca is roughly 200 nautical miles out, a two-day run that benefits from the separate cabins when guests want to rest properly between legs. She also works for a slower, closer itinerary: a run south to Sitges or further down toward the Costa Maresme, with nights spent at anchor rather than racing back to port each evening. Barcelona's harbour approach carries heavy commercial and ferry traffic, so entry and exit are handled by the captain, with guests briefed on timing before departure.

Thumper suits multi-generational families, small corporate groups, or a party of friends who want the option of overnighting rather than returning to a marina berth every day. Because a charter of this scale involves proper provisioning and fuel planning — sourced through markets like Boqueria or Santa Caterina before departure — it's worth discussing route and duration with the broker early, particularly if a Balearics passage is being weighed against a shorter coastal itinerary.
